Connecting Monitor to Xbox

I just bought a HP 2311x 23" Led Monitor with the sole purpose of using it with my xbox 360 for gaming.  I am having difficulty in getting the signal from the xbox to the monitor. I have the hdmi cable hooked in from the monitor to the xbox but nothing, it just says check video cable.  I was able to sucessfully connect the monitor to my computer, but thats not what I am going to use it for.
Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind, everythings working fine now. The HDMI cable I had didnt work, swapped it out with another and now everything works fine.

  • XBOX ONE. I have the xbox one and the airport time capsule and cant connect to most xbox live games and zero parties. I have 0 experience in all this but somehow was able to change NAT to open but still wont connect. HELLLPPPP

    Okay folks, I need your help out there.
    So the nerdy side of me went and picked up the XBOX ONE on release day. Its awesome by the way, BUT..... I cant seem to connect to most xbox live games and absolutely ZERO parties. At first I just thought it was something to do with the xbox itself and would eventually fix itself, but i was wrong. After looking into it on microsoft, i found out that it had to do with my NAT settings on the airport itself. I guess apple and xbox are not compatiable for xbox live and it makes it difficult to have an open NAT setting and is a huge PAIN.
    I was able to pinpoint one that the airport time capsule was blocking the IPV6 something or another. Anyways, I unblocked that, and reset the modem and time capsule and jumped on the xbox and now have open NAT settings but still cant connect to multi-player.
    Upon further searching, i was told to uncheck the UPNP on my time capsule as well, but have no idea how to find that.
    I know it seems confusing, but thats the best i can describe it.
    tthanks all

    Be a long long time before I see an Xbox One.. but whoever told you to uncheck the upnp in the TC.. tell them their dreamin' .. upnp is not support by Apple in any computer or router, never has been.. Apple deliberately wrote their own version called NAT-PMP to do the same thing.. dynamically open ports at the request of an application or client computer.
    So there is nothing like that to uncheck.. and as a matter of interest.. there no box to check or uncheck for NAT-PMP either.. since apple do not believe in end user adjustment of settings.. they simply do not exist.
    You will have to manually forward all ports required by the Xbox via the TC. For multi-player games you probably need to open more ports than the standard to allow just xbox live. You will need to check the ports required and open them.
    OR
    Buy a standard vista UPNP compatible router.. and use that.. and simply put the TC in bridge in the network.
    I have not seen posts yet about xbox one.. but there are plenty about xbox and ps3 and the fact that Apple really doesn't give a hoot about games consoles.
    This is a good basic post for older xbox.

  • How do I make a window full screen and keep my connected monitor separate to utilize with other programs?

    I just got a MacBookPro and have an external monitor connected to it. I opened a window to full screen and the connected monitor went to a gray screen while the MBP monitor showed the program in full screen. How can I make them independant so this doesn't happen?

    Hello Azul37,
    go to your Applications folder and ctrl-click iDVD, then choose "Show Package Contents" from the drop-down menu. Next navigate to the Resources folder, find the theme, duplicate and rename it, then open the copy with the above procedure (choose Full Frame 1 for this - the other one is a bit tricky)
    Again navigate to the Resources folder and find a folder named "FullFrameTitle.pox". There are other folders inside - open them one by one until you find a TIFF file with a long name with loads of numbers and delete it. Now the grey bar for the title is gone.
    Next launch iDVD and choose your (modified) theme. Import a movie. You'll see the grey bar appear as button under the text. Go to the Settings tab in the Customize pane, select the button options and choose "Text Only". Voilà
    Note: I recommend you leave the grey bar for the buttons - it provides better on-screen visibility.
    If you are interested in tweaking your iDVD themes I recommend reading here:

  • Problems with internet sharing/network connection/ethernet and XBOX 360

    So basically I have a sent my Mac Book Pro 13" (Snow Leopard) away to be fixed, and in return I got a loan Mac Book Pro 15" (Lion). In the two weeks my Mac book was away getting fixed I purchased an XBOX 360, because of my location I am unable to use wireless on my XBOX, so instead I connect the loan Mac Book to the XBOX 360 via network cable.
    This worked fine and I could now connect to XBOX Live and be on the Mac Book at the same time.
    So today my Mac Book (13") is returned, I connect everything up exactly the same also changing the settings on internet sharing making sure that it can be used to send the connection to other devices via ethernet.
    But it just wont connect.
    The XBOX doesnt find the connection like it did before, and it also doesnt register on the MAC Book either.
    I've tried different cables, the same cable I used where it worked before.
    I've tried turning of Virus protection.
    Both still at both ends it is not registering a connection, I have used this Mac Book before through a network cable so I dont think there is a problem there, to my knowledge everything is the same as I did on the other Mac Book but this one does work.
    Have you any advice or tips on how to get this to work?
    Thanks for your time.

    What I did to get my network running again (although I still haven't found out why DHCP has stopped working):
    1. Open the Control Panel of the computer that's trying to connect to the network (not the computer sharing the internet connection)
    2. Go to 'Network' panel, and select the AirPort connection
    3. Under the 'TCP/IP' tab, change 'Configure IPv4' pull-down menu from 'Using DHCP' to 'Manually'.
    4. Enter an IP address between 10.0.2.2 and 10.0.2.256 (I randomly chose 10.0.2.40), a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and enter 10.0.2.1 in the Router box.
    5. Click "Apply now"
    The computer should now be connected to the network, and able to access the internet. If not, you may need to manually enter a DNS server - put '4.2.2.1' (or an IP for a DNS server provided by your ISP) into the 'DNS Servers' box.
    You need to do that process for each computer you're trying to connect to the shared network, making sure you enter a different IP Address for each.

  • How to activate both connected monitor

    In my application, i have to connect 2monitors with the CPU and have to activate both connected monitors(means both should show windows)

    Bublina,
    It depends. If he only wants to assign a VI to a particular monitor or enumerate the currently active monitors, the VI server properties and methods are indeed all that are needed.
    I interpreted the request however as being able to enable and disable monitors at runtime of the application and that can only be done with the Windows API functions directly. To my knowledge there aren't even .Net methods to do that.

  • Can a 23 or 30-inch display be connected to a XBOX 360 or PS3?

    Can a 23 or 30-inch display be connected to a XBOX 360 or PS3?
    Thanks.

    If your PowerBook has a dual-link DVI port, it will work with the 30-inch Cinema Display; this port can be found on a PowerBook with a clock speed of 1.67GHz. Neither the PowerBook nor the MacBook has upgradable graphics.

  • Trouble connecting to my xbox 360 (wrt54gs)

  • Accessing MXI Connection Monitor Programmatically

    The MXI-4 (PXI-8336) User Manual states that you can "programmatically retrieve data about the link, chassis, and modules you have installed."  I have two PXI-1042 chassis bridged together using PXI-8336 cards, and I would like be able to detect if the link is broken between the chassis.  I see the device "MXI-4 Connection Monitor "PXI13::9::1::INSTR" in MAX, but the only attribute I can see is "Bridge Retransmit Count" (another useful piece of info for error checking).  There doesn't seem to be any utility in NI-VISA to access this information--am I missing something, or maybe this info is kept in registers?
    Bottom line, I would like to generate an error in my LabVIEW code if the link is lost between the chassis.  Obviously, if this happens, I would get other errors related to the instruments in the downstream chassis, but it would be useful to be able to detect if the fiber optic cable was broken or disconnected.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Marcus,
    I have a PXI-8108 real-time embedded controller in "Chassis 1" with a PXI-8336 MXI-4 pair extending the PCI bus to "Chassis 2".  LabVIEW Real-Time 10.0 and NI-VISA 5.0 are installed on the controller.  I am running a real-time executable and using a laptop to display the remote front panel in a browser.
    Unfortunately, I discovered today that if I lose the link between the chassis, the controller disconnects and my application stops.  Presumably this is due to the PCI bus taking issue with losing half of its devices...
    So monitoring the link is a moot point.  However, "Bridge Retransmit Count" might still be useful to keep tabs on the health of the bridge or the connection itself.  I just don't see any way programmatically to access this info, even though I see it in MAX.
    Thanks

  • How do I connect Monitor without HDMI (but DVI-D) to laptop with micro-HDMI?

    I have a Samsung NP900x400D-A02US laptop... the video connections are:
    - a micro-HDMI
    - a "monitor port" (which the manual says supports 15 pin D-Sub interface.. or you can connect VGA adapter),
    I would like to buy the Dell Ultrasharp u2412M which has 1900x1200 resolution.... BUT it does not have an HDMI port.  It has:
    - a display port
    - VGA input
    - DVI-D with HDCP Input
    - USB ports (but I don't think it's the kind that will allow me to hook up thge monitor to the laptop with USB)
    How the heck do I connect the 2 of these... in a way that retains the 1900x1200 resolution?    if I can't find a good way I might have to find another monitor with HDMI....
    Thanks so much for your help!   It's a bit frustrating to sort through it all....
    Kathryn

    I ended up finding it by item #, because I would have missed it, too.  I wasn't sure if the product image was correct until I saw  this: 
    Connector on First End: 1 x HDMI (Micro Type D) Male Digital Audio/Video
    You got it figured out. Hooks up exactly like you said. HDMI and DVI will result in same picture quality, but as you mentioned, HDMI doesn't carry audio. They are the same, for all intents and purposes, in all other regards.
    The DVI cable should have thumbscrews on each end, to help secure it at each end. The Adapter I linked has 'receptors' for the thumb screws, so the connection will be secure. The monitor should have the same 'receptors' for thumb screws. The weakest point of the connection, physically, will be the Micro-HDMI, so just be careful to not put pressure on that connection. 

  • Is there a way to keep my 2nd, iMac connected monitor, from timing out?

    I own A 27" iMac that was purchased in late 2012. For the most part, I love this machine.
    The one thing that is a total drag, is that when I connected an Apple 30 inch Cinema Display to my iMac, using Apple's Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, I got all kinds of noise and articfacts that Apple tech support was not able to resolve.
    So I brought a similar product to the dual link adapter (suggested by Apple), that was made by another company. To my delight, the noise and artifacts completely went away. Another problem occurred, however. The Cinema Display now times out if I'm not working. To wake up the monitor, I have to dig behind my iMac and unplug the display port USB from the back of my iMac, to get the Cinema Dispaly to wake up. Sometimes I find myself doing this eight times a day, which is getting old.
    Any ideas on a resolution would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Keywords, sometimes called tags, are words assigned to a photo based on the content - so, you could tag all your kids photos with their names, all the birthday shots with 'birthday' so to find all the shots of John's eighth birthday it would be
    Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Keyword is birthday
    Year is whatver...
    Some ideas about organising in iPhoto:
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • My MBP Retina doesn't allow the use of two Thunderbolt to DVI adapters. It only works with one TB - VGA adapter and one TB - DVI adapter. However now the color on the VGA connected monitor is slightly different.

    The monitors are Viewsonic VA2406m-LED. The Display preferences show all three monitors but one monitor always says "No Signal" if they are both connected TB -> DVI.
    The Color on the VGA connected one is slighly off. It seems like I should be able to connect two DVI monitors not sure why this is stopped. Does it have something to do with the Graphics card?

    The problem was with the newEgg adapter. I just went to the Apple Store and bought an Apple adapter and the monitor now displays correctly.
    For future reference, in case anyone experiences this problem:
    the newEgg adapter is part number 9SIA1PU0P88920, described as a Thunderbolt Mini Displayporrt Display Port DP to DVI Adapter for APPLE Macbook Pro Air and the full description says it works for macbook pro, etc.
    when this adapter is used, the macbook pro recognizes the monitor, but the monitor displays nothing.
    When the apple adapter (MB507Z/B Mini Display Port to DVI Adapater) is used, the monitor displays correctly.
    Of course, the individual newEgg part might simply be defective, but I doubt it.  moral -- spend the extra $$ and buy the Apple adapter.

  • BT Home Hub connection issue on XBOX 360

    I have just upgraded from a BT Home Hub 3, to the BT Home Hub 4, before the upgrade I ran Sky TV wired, and 3PCs wifi, my Ipad and my Iphone. I also ran my XBOX 360 wifi, and a PS3 wifi, all worked no problem.
    Now I am on BT Home Hub 4, all my connections are the same all working well apart from the XBOX 360.
    I have tried doing the fix on the BT site logging into the Hub changed the SIDD and set the other bit to NO. this did not work.
    I then reset the XBOX to factory settings as this was in another fix, I then reset the XBOX to the Hub 4, logged on to call of duty ghosts got half way through a game it crashed out saying no conection reset to test conection.
    The Hub will conect to my XBOX 360 but only stay conected for up to 14 mins at most.
    Do I need to go back to my BT Home Hub 3, Can any body help its starting to be a pain. As one good person said use a wired conection that would be good, but due to location would be hard. I did think upgrading was ment to make things better not harder. Please Help.

    To add, I had on online chat with BT, they said that no problems exist about XBOX 360  and the BT Home Hub to do with wifi.
    If this is the case why have a fix on the BT site, that does not work may I add well not on my XBOX.
    I found BT online chat not much help in this case.
    Please advise and help

  • When I install the Hyper V Feature set (Win 8.1) - I lose my DVI connected monitors.

    I have decided to switch over from VMWare Player to Hyper V for my VMs, however I am running into a deal breaker type issue.
    After I install the Hyper V  features (via Programs and features) I get prompted for a restart while the system installs the feature set.
    When I finally get booted back up I am no longer able to detect my two monitors that are connected via DVI.
    I have a Lenovo T430 and all the System drivers and Windows updates are current. VGA still works, but I only have one VGA port and need two.
    Troubleshooting so far:
    Phyiscal Layer:
    I tried new cables, new docking station, different monitors.
    I removed the Hyper V feature set and regained my use of the DVI monitors.
    I don't really know where to begin troubleshooting after that. I am not that familiar with hypervisors. I need access my lab environment. Please help!
    Any ideas on steps to troubleshoot with would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Sir,
    >>After I install the Hyper V  features (via Programs and features) I get prompted for a restart while the system installs the feature set.
    >>When I finally get booted back up I am no longer able to detect my two monitors that are connected via DVI.
    Do you mean all of these ports can work well at a time  without enabling Hyper-v ?
    I checked the laptop "T430" ,it has two video card .
    Please try to disable the integrated one for test .

  • Need help - connecting Monitor and TV at same time with component video

    I have a mac mini, connected via DVI to a monitor - I bought a DVI splitter to connect the monitor to one port and the tv to the other via a DVI to Video adapter, using component video. When I plug in the DVI to Video adapter, the primary monitor loses its connection and I cannot seem to get the TV to recognize the signal - what am I doing wrong?

    In my case, the Barco Cine7 CRT projector I would like to connect the new Mini to accepts a pretty wide variety of analog component video formats, but I cannot find a listing of what the Mini supports. Presuming I use a DVI to VGA adapter and then a VGA to RGB cable, can the mini video card output any one of the following analog component formats:
    RGBs or RGsB - R, G and B with automatic sync detection between seperate sync (separate composite sync or with separate hor and vert. sync) or sync on green (composite sync)
    RGB with tri level sync - R, G and B with separate tri level sync or with tri level sync on green.
    Component video - R-Y, Y and B-Y with separate sync or with compositesync.
    Component video with tri level sync - R-Y, Y and B-Y with separate tri level sync or with composite tri level sync.
